Take a break at the main square in Waidhofen/Thaya. Enjoy a short stroll along the southern promenade or treat yourself to an ice cream or coffee at one of the pastry shops in Böhmgasse or Niederleutnerstraße.

A brief explanation of the patronage of Our Lady of the Snow, which is not often encountered: This takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically speaking, from Austria to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called "miracle of the snow" occurred at the site where the church of Santa Maria Maggiore is today. That is, on that day, in the middle of summer, there was snow there in the morning because the Mother of God wanted a church dedicated to her to be built on that spot. She communicated this wish in a vision to a wealthy couple - who financed the construction - and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius. The Roman church has the status of a patriarchal basilica (papal basilica), and is the origin of all churches and chapels with this patronage. In the liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, the date August 5th is a “non-obligatory memorial day” as the day of the consecration of the church (Anno Domini 432 by Pope Sixtus III).

The patronage of "Mary of the Snows", which in my experience is not often encountered, takes us far back in church history to the fourth/fifth century, and geographically to Rome. On August 5, 363, the so-called "miracle of the snow" happened at the site where the church of "Santa Maria Maggiore" stands today. That is, there was snow there in the middle of summer because the Mother of God wanted a church dedicated to her to be built there. She told this in a vision to a wealthy couple - who financed the construction - and to the Bishop of Rome, Pope Liberius.
